Anamanaguchi

Awesome show! The music was even better loud and live. Went back home and listened to Endless Fantasy again and I was wishing it was as good as the concert. Thought some of the members could have seemed a little happier that they were there, but can't complain too much.

Overall it was an amazing show, and anamanaguchi were great. Definitely recommend seeing them when they're headlining, since the crowd being into it is what really makes it awesome. The staff seemed to be surprisingly okay with the stage-diving/crowd-surfing, as long as they didn't mess up the equipment when they were on stage. I wish we weren't waiting around so long, between waiting outside to get in and the openers (show was supposed to "start" at 7:30, didn't get inside till like 8:15, anamanguchi didn't come on till 10:30), but once they came on it was worth it, if only their set was a bit longer.

Raucous, nerdy, dancey, amazing. These are the best guys, the best around.

Great venue, great band, easy entry, can't beat free concerts!

Awesome Show! I love Anamanaguchi! They had great energy and the stage set up was awesome!

For anyone who thought the beeps and blips of midi tones of 8bit classic video game consoles created a sweet melody, this is the next evolution. Sight and sound combine in something that tugs at the nostalgia of youth, but appeals a mature appreciation of music and art.

There were 3 bands that night. Stiff Middle Finger was rough and some like it that way (not me though). Chrome Sparks was a pleasant electronic discovery, and since they're more obscure, you can get their music for almost free on bandcamp. Anamanaguchi was great, though there were some hiccups like technical issues that Pete had to stall for, and the projector kept moving. Can't be helped so much. Kind of cool that they let the crowd hold one of their props. That was my first time going to an actual concert. I thought I would be bored, but I really enjoyed it. I'm glad I got to see Anamanaguchi before another rise in fame/quality/ticket prices.

Anamanaguchi are a great band to dance, jump around, move erratically, or just nod your head to. They are the Man... or Astro-man? of instrumental chiptune rock bands. Great stage presence and visuals. They were obviously having a great time, and very humble and appreciative of their audience who adored them. Very personable guys, not at all "rock stars." They played their songs absolutely great, very professional. A broken string incident was quickly resolved with the help of Hot Sugar's guitar - who by the way was also an intriguing artist to watch. While I forget the name of the first act (I think it was George & Jonathan?), they made surprisingly good electronic music. You can't quite put a name or genre to what they do, but it is strongly evocative of imagery, and they provided some good visuals to enhance that. Pictureplane however is musical babyfood - sorry dude, but at least you tried.

Youtube doesn't do this band justice. Not really a bubble gum techno/rock person (or techno person at all) but these guys rock.

Time Wharp was somewhat terrible, Infinity Shred was good, and Anamanaguchi was amazing.

crowd was electric and anamanaguchi kicked arse. haven't had that much fun at a concert in a while. thanks for the glow sticks!

Everything about this show was fantastic! The venue was well laid-out and felt straight out of Scott Pilgrim, our seats on the balcony were awesome, the crowd was amazing, and the show itself was incredible. Both openers were a lot of fun and Anamanaguchi themselves are unbelievably good live. I would absolutely come back to this venue in the future, and you KNOW I'm going to be all over any Anamanaguchi shows that come anywhere near me from now on!

The venue's great, the atmosphere rocked, everything except the price of drinks frakkin ruled!

This concert was everything you would expect from an underground band. Plus, the encore was great.

I've been to eight concerts before this one and this was by far the best. The first of the two opening acts (Talk to Animals) was great (the second, MATH the Band, not so much), but when Anamanaguchi came onstage. The crowd went crazy, and even with an unexplainable extreme pain in my angle I couldn't help but jump around and get pushed around by the crowd. The band played everything to perfection, interacted well with the audience, and even covered an M83 song (Don't Save us from the Flames) for an encore! That really made the concert. I'll definitely see them again, but maybe when it's not hotter outside than it is in the venue.

This trio of acts were perhaps some of the best to combine into one show. With similar but not too similar of a sound the three bands, Talk to Animals, Math the Band, and Anamanaguchi worked well together to create a thriving electronic atmosphere that energized the crowd. Despite being in Williamsburg, the venue was not over-crowded with hipsters that don't move to the music at all and managed to be packed without feeling overcrowded. Also, there was a bar downstairs where you could ask for tap water and it was FREE.

Loud, fast, chaotic, crazy light show and awesome beyond belief!
